Linnie and Roberta!! You are two amazing wonderful people!! You inspire and enable ( HAH ) and make the world a better place! Enjoy your holidays! 💗💗Anna in Lake Tahoe
What wonderful company you both have been as I start Baldaquin Birdies, the MFE 2025 SAL. I look forward to sharing our stitching journey together in the new year. ❤
Thanks for sharing ladies! You are so wonderful and encouraging to listen to and watch. Linnie, LOVE the book you shared, immediately found one online and ordered it- can't wait for it to come. Loved the encouraging words about the new year, happy new year and can't wait for your next flosstube..
Just watching the two of you over the past year I have learned what wonderful people there are in the cross-stitch community. We all have our good days and bad days, but we are always there for each other and that is something you won't find in many other hobbies. It's like always having a best friend waiting for us. Thank you, Linnie and Roberta, for being there for us. Wishing you both a Happy and Healthy New Year. Blessings to you both! 🤗♥
Hi Pat. Thank you for the sweetest comment. You guys are all our friends and we are always there to support each other. I wish you a very blessed new year and lots of joyful stitching ❤😊❤😊❤
Thank you for the thoughtful and encouraging comment Pat! We love being part of this wonderful community and helping to bring to light all the good things that happen within it. It's why we love going to retreats and meeting and re-connecting with our stitching friends.
I always love seeing you guys and hearing what you've been up to . Your projects are all so beautiful. Looking forward to the old year coming to a close and the new one beginning. Last year I did 12 in 12, and I had trouble doing one project every hour, so this year I'm going to do six new starts for 2 hours each. Not so stressful for me. I wish you both a joy-filled new year. ❤
Hi Judy. Thank you for sharing with us today. The 12x12 is a fun way to get the year started. Doing 12 in that time frame was tooooo much. Doing six is more manageable. I have 12 ready in case I make a mistake and can change. I don’t want to spend my hour having to frog 🐸 yuck! Good luck. Can’t wait to talk about it next time. Happy new years stitching
Thank you for all the wonderful videos you both have given us this year. Looking forward to the upcoming year of more stories and fun. Wishing you and your families a blessed New Year. Happy crafting. ❤
Hi Linda. What a beautiful comment. We enjoy sharing with you. I wish you a very happy new year filled with joy and good health and lots of joyful stitches ❤😊❤😊❤
Hi Joan. So happy for you visiting us today. It felt good to be back. It was definitely the longest we ever did and still have more to come. Hope to see you again for Part 2. Happy new year full of happy stitching ❤🎉❤🎉❤
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I just love spending time watching the wide variety of projects you stitch and laughing at your jokes. I always feel like you both help me keep just a little bit connected to Kansas City. I miss meeting with my creative friends to quilt and stitch in Lawrence and KC. I think I took for granted all of the stores, retreats, and opportunities I had there and miss it quite a bit. Stitching along with you gives me a little bit of that home town feel back so thank you from the bottom of my heart! I hope 2025 is filled with wonderful moments of stitching, family time, and laughter for you both.❤Melissa
Oh Melissa, we are so happy to help you continue to feel connected to KC!! We are blessed to live in such a vibrant community and I love the changing seasons and the beauty each brings. Wishing you all the best in 2025!
Hi Janine. So nice to visit with you again. I hope you had a great 2024 and will have even a better 2025. I love a new year with lots of happy and hope. Cheers ❤
Hi Roberta and Linnie! Loved the wip parade and always love watching y’all! Thank y’all for being so faithful to us and bringing us fun videos week after week! Happy New Year to both of you! I’m extort the new!!
Hi ladies! Love your videos - such diverse projects. I wanted to share my variation on the blessings sampler. I keep my New Year's Day free because I start and try to finish a small project that day. It's usually something smaller than 5" square. My goal is to start the year with a start and finish! If I don't finish that day, I only stitch on this project until finished. Great way to start the year! Happy New Year to both of you!
I love that version! I was watching videos about how to do WIPGO and Jessie keeps stressing that it's your WIPGO and you can do it however you want. I agree that a Blessing Sampler can also be whatever you want it to be!
Hi Ginger. That’s so sweet. It’s so fun to see all your Instagram posts. How is your daughter feeling! You are going to love being a grandma. What a happy 2025 you will have. Happy New Year ❤😊❤😊❤
I really enjoyed seeing your WIP parade! What a lot of beautiful work. Roberta, your framed sampler is a super start to your sampler wall. Linnie, I loved seeing your Feast of Friendship and all the beautiful work you have completed. I just may have to buy that pattern and start stitching it. I agree, you two bring me so much joy and I am so glad I get to see you both occasionally. Happy New Year! Dottie
Thanks for the beautiful words Dottie! I have several samplers from 2024 retreats that I'd love to start as well. Did you have a favorite from the retreats you attended this year?
I went to Lee Summit and and then Quilter's Station for my first time ever about a month ago and just kept thinking, "Maybe I'll run into Roberta and/or Lennie!!!" That would've been so cool! Well, that didn't happen but I still had a great time and spent way too much money😂! Happy 🎉 New 🎉 Year 🎊🎊, Girlfriends!!!
Fun video. My husband taught me to use Reader's Digest to make those Christmas trees and then we would spray paint them green and put super tiny balls on them. That was back in 1970. We had just gotten married that June, so I was pretty impressed with my new husband. 😃Happy New Year!🎆
And believe it or not even more WIPs to come. I just finished tallying all mine up and found a couple of extras that didn't make it onto my 2024 list. Wishing you a Happy New Year as well Phyllis!
Hello ladies, thank you for spending the morning with me! I just started the new Monthly Mini Village-January while watching your WIP parade and listening to you two chat…it was like the three of us were in my livingroom🥰❤️
Hello, I was so happy to see your video today. Great fun and such a pleasure to watch and listen to you both. Lovely projects at all stages. Thank you for sharing your time. ❤️😀☕️🇨🇦
Hi ladies, I had to watch this in three installments. Are you aware that there are a lot of commercials in your videos? I am finished with Harvest Huswife’s main piece also. I am working on the small pieces and am determined to finish it this week. Thanks for the tips that have improved your stitching experience. Best wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Stitchy New Year!
Thank you both. Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas. My oldest Grandson downloaded the “headband” game which we played after Christmas dinner. Young and old all played everyone laughed it was such silly fun. Looking forward to seeing your WIP parade. Happy New Year!
You have to make a trip to primitive gatherings! It's the most beautiful store I've ever seen and the way she has all the wool applique organized is amazing. It was so easy to find everything you wanted i spent wayyy more then I thought I would lol
It does sound wonderful and the videos I've seen of the store are amazing. I would have to prepare myself because I definitely tend to get overwhelmed and then end up leaving empty handed, which would be a shame!
"What chair?" I laughed and am shaking my head because it is exactly what my husband and a few of our sons would have said. Thanks for the delightful floss tube and all the best in 2025.
Hello Ladies I always enjoy your videos. Linny I started BBD Merry Christmas on Boxing Day on 28count 🎄 Thank You Both for sharing All your WIPS and Starts . Happy New Year 🥳 🎉 May 2025 brings you Good Health and Lots of Stitchy Happiness. ❤❤ Maree 🇦🇺
Hi Maree. Thank you for your kind words. Good luck on your BBD. I now have all my floss so I’m ready to get started in January. Maybe we can share our progress along the way. I wish you a very Happy and Blessed New Year ❤🎉❤🎉❤
It's a wonderful stitch and not a big piece! I enjoyed having it out for the season, but it could definitely be out beyond the holidays. The colors don't scream Christmas! Happy New Year to you as well!
Hi Susan. Thanks for joining us today and finish is the key word here haha. I hope I can get some done but I know there will be new starts in the new year. May 2025 be filled with joy and good health and lots of stitches ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Thanks for a great video! So many beautiful projects, many of them I have as WIPS. Loved meeting you and visiting with both of you today! I look forward to meeting with you again.
Hi Terry. It was great meeting you today. I love to share with others this wonderful hobby of ours and the people who enjoy it as much as we do. It’s such a pleasure you want to meet us. Your project bag was so generous and I already put my “Baby” inside. Thank you again. I hope our paths cross again soon. Happy new year PS. It was nice to meet your husband also. ❤😊❤😊❤
Happy New Year!🎉🎉 May the good Lord bless you and yours this coming year. I so enjoy watching your videos. Delightful, funny, and heartwarming. Thank you so much for the time you give us. Could you please direct me to the "Marie Tee Peace" shop and the references to Linnie's Project bags. I'm not having any luck in locating them. Thanks so much, I appreciate you ❤❤
Hi ladies! It was so nice to watch and see your WIP parade! There are so many lovely projects! Roberta, your finished sampler is lovely and going to be a wonderful start to your wall of samplers! I look forward to 2025, and to seeing more of your projects! Happy New Year!
We're glad you enjoyed part I and hope you enjoy the second part as well! I enjoyed getting organized for the videos and going through all my projects. It really helped me better understand my stitching tendencies and devising plans for 2025. Happy New Year!
You two are the nicest flosstubers! It’s like stitching with friends when watching your videos! I’ve been reducing my WIP count too. Finished some things this year. I’ve been going through other things and de-kitting them as my tastes have changed and I really hadn’t made much of a start to begin with. There are so many beautiful things to stitch and we get pulled in many different directions! Happy New Year! Barbara
I'm like you Barbara. I've gone through my kitted projects and still love everything I've purchased, but some of the kits I've received at retreats I need to pass on through destashing or giveaways. And hopefully my WIP count will go down a bit next year as well! Happy New Year!
What a great partial WIP parade! Linnie, after seeing you last time show La D Da Count your blessings, I just had to order it! I've never stitched a blessing stitch before, but on the 1st I am going to start that. Should be a quick stitch.
Hi Martha. You will enjoy that stitch. There are so many great patterns. We need them all right? I haven’t done a blessing stitch either but it sounds like a joyful stitch. Please share your progress if you like. Happy new year of stitches ❤🎉❤🎉❤
I love your floss tube I am just like you ladies I've got more than ill ever use. I'm doing 12 x 12 but only doing one new start my blessing. Everything else will be WIPS. I've been storing my floss on drops then on rings then hanging the rings on hangers in my closest with a dry cleaner bag over them. It keeps the thread clean and i don't have space for a wall of floss. My linen is sorted in drawers by count.
Thank you both Linnie and Roberta for a wonderful flosstube and for sharing your tips for your viewers! I really enjoy your episodes! Happy New Year to you and your families!
Yes, I eventually found it and bought the "system" (doesn't that sound very technical!) I am hoping to try it out before the next video. Let me know if you have a favorite color!
I think I always plan to continue to stitch Christmas throughout the year but get sidetracked come February. Hopefully I will do a better job this year!
Wow, what a great assortment that you each have. Even me that has two wips is thinking of starting a new one for 2025. Enabling may not be so bad girls.
As I look back on things that I stitched many years ago, I can’t imagine doing them now. I was monogamous for years so I only have 6 wips and can’t imagine too many more. I would get anxiety. I also quit them back in the day if I grew weary of them.
Happy New Year to you both! You are such an inspiration in our cross stitch world and I appreciate the time it takes you to do the flosstube for us. Have a great 2025🥂❤️
Happy New Year! I enjoy your flosstube because of the family updates, stories and jokes! It’s listening to a conversation with friends. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the feedback! I feel like I get to know others when they give little insights about their lives outside of stitching so glad you are also in that camp! Happy New Year!
I love watching you guys! Your videos are always a highlight of my day. Roberta, Feast Of Friendship, what color is the house? I really want to buy that pattern, but only want the specialty floss for the blue house. The rest I’ll use DMC. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I thoroughly enjoyed your WIP parade. I definitely needed my notebook for this one! Lots of inspiration. Wishing you much health, happiness, and lots of stitching in 2025.
Isn't it interesting that we overlap on only a couple of projects! Even when we are doing things by the same designer they tend to be different things. Happy New Year to you as well!
I have to admit, I really enjoy getting these all out and remembering where I got them, when they were started, etc. Thank you for hanging out with us!
What a wonderful video, I really enjoyed watching! I hope you have a very Happy New Year and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in the upcoming coming weeks!
Love watching you two cuties. I’m Excited for 2025 it has such a fun”ring” to it. I was watching in bed last night kept dozing off so finished this morning didn’t want to miss a second💁♀️Happy New Year from Utah Take care and Enjoy ...........
Isn't that the truth Billie! I know there have been several WIP parades that I have ended up going back through to help me remember which patterns I wanted to add to my list!
Another wonderful WIP parade! I totally agree with the need for having a notebook nearby while watching flosstube All the enabling oh my! But also for the little tidbits of information 😊 Happy 2025 🎉 I look forward to your progress and starts.
Hi Dee. You were our number one commentator again. Thank you for being such a loyal viewer. We were happy to be back and sharing all our undone stitching haha. I can tell I need to quit starting and do some finishing but who are we kidding. Haha. I hope you enjoyed it. Part 2 is coming. Happy new year filled with lots of joyful memories and stitching ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
@@linnieisenburg520 🥰 Part 2 will be fun. We all have some tiny new starts. Maybe ask viewers if there was something they learned this year. Newbies are in a rush to start a new piece, and don't measure properly with sufficient fabric allowance before cutting, have the fabric in the wrong direction (Landscape or Vertical) before beginning, don't secure the stitches on the back well enough... I've ended with a Pin Stitch, and could see them afterwards, so either I have great eyes for spotting things or I'm doing them wrong, haaaa See you next video, Happy New Year!!!
That's a good idea to ask viewers what they learned. Those are good tips about checking the fabric orientation before starting! I started one piece wrong this year but luckily realized it before I got much done.
@@Roberta.SABLEStitchers Maybe also ask stitchers what goofs, oops, mistakes they've made & learned not to do that again, even a "seasoned" stitcher -- In all my Years of stitching (since 1975) and frogging did I snip 1 thread of my Linen, until a week ago as the floss was so close in color to the overdyed fabric at the spot. 😳 After my colorful words, I was able to put a tiny drop of Aleene's tacky glue on the back, it worked. I thought, Hey, didn't Roberta do that once?! I was ready to grab a strand from the edge of my fabric allowance if I needed to re-weave it. But still, a shake my head moment.
😂🤭"one was charged.& the other was lit off!" Lol I do so love a cheesy😄funny! Oh yeah! I'm gonna share that one with my kids💖👍😎😊Go on! ☺️&Happy New Years Ladies💖🙂☕👍😎
Thank you Judi. Oh how I love a good dad joke. If it makes my grandkids roll their eyes I know it was a good one. Haha. I have a million of ‘em besides we love to leave you with a smile. Happy New Year ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Love your tips! A floss kit for seasons or designers is a great idea! What kind of spread sheet do you use for keeping track of your flosses, and patterns?
Hi Dinah. Thank you for joining us today. I hope you are feeling better. It’s no fun to be sick. Please take and get back to your feeling good self. Happy New Year ❤😊❤😊❤
Happy New Years to the both of you!! All the Best of good health, happiness and lots of stitching. I was wondering what pattern the needle holder is. I would like to make one for a goodies at our spring retreat. What a great friendship you two have, love it.
Hi Frankie: Can you remind us which needle holder? I think I've shown some that I've purchased and have stored with my kitted projects but maybe it's something Linnie showed?
Hi Andrea. Oh I wish we were but we can’t make it this year. We might just have to make another road trip your way. Thanks for joining us today. I hope your new Year is filled with joy and good health and lots of joyful stitching ❤😊❤😊❤
Thank you for keeping me company while I stitched tonight. Love seeing all your WIPs and thanks for the hints and tips you share. Looking forward to being more organized in my stitching in 2025 and finishing more of my WIPs. Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year.
Hi. Thanks for joining us today. It’s fun to go through patterns you haven’t seen in awhile and it’s always good to learn new things. I hope you have a happy new year filled with joy good health and lots of joyful stitches ❤😊❤😊❤
We always keep learning and tweaking, don't we? I just bought some boxes to store some of my kitted seasonal projects in to make my craft room a little tidier. Happy New Year from another crazy cat lady!
Linnie - I totally agree with you about the Sullivan needles - I love to stitch with them, but hate trying to remove a thread! Also, about your linen slub - there is a FT’er, called Count my Stitches who made a video about how to repair a slub in your linen - you might want to check her out. Thanks to you both for some great post Christmas entertainment ! Keep ‘em comin’!
Oh, that's good to know Susan! I was just dealing with a slub yesterday and picked out some of the thread and was able to make it work. There is probably a better way to do this though!
I was finishing up my husband's Christmas cross stitch gift while listening to the video, and at one point I felt that I really was sitting at that table with you. It was the weirdest thing... Delightful, but surreal. I wish I could say I learned great things with my stitching this year, but no. Maybe next year.
Hi girls! Linnie-Brandy in your stitch group chose the perfect pink for her house in Winter Rose Manor. For some reason the word Meredith sticks with me but I can’t for the life of me remember the exact name of the pink. Her house was beautiful. Roberta-you are so lucky to have a granddaughter that loves to craft with you. Love your content girls. Oh, Stitcher with the Laughing Face is doing an interesting SAL. Check out her FlossTube.
Linnie and Roberta!! You are two amazing wonderful people!! You inspire and enable ( HAH ) and make the world a better place! Enjoy your holidays! 💗💗Anna in Lake Tahoe
What wonderful company you both have been as I start Baldaquin Birdies, the MFE 2025 SAL. I look forward to sharing our stitching journey together in the new year. ❤
Thank you, ladies, for a wonderful year of stitching. Have a wonderful New Year.
Thanks for sharing ladies! You are so wonderful and encouraging to listen to and watch. Linnie, LOVE the book you shared, immediately found one online and ordered it- can't wait for it to come. Loved the encouraging words about the new year, happy new year and can't wait for your next flosstube..
Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2025! I think by now you know that I love watching you two! Your both great enablers 😂😂♥️♥️♥️♥️
Happy New Year! I loved seeing all your projects and WIPs❤
Just watching the two of you over the past year I have learned what wonderful people there are in the cross-stitch community. We all have our good days and bad days, but we are always there for each other and that is something you won't find in many other hobbies. It's like always having a best friend waiting for us. Thank you, Linnie and Roberta, for being there for us. Wishing you both a Happy and Healthy New Year. Blessings to you both! 🤗♥
Hi Pat. Thank you for the sweetest comment. You guys are all our friends and we are always there to support each other. I wish you a very blessed new year and lots of joyful stitching ❤😊❤😊❤
Thank you for the thoughtful and encouraging comment Pat! We love being part of this wonderful community and helping to bring to light all the good things that happen within it. It's why we love going to retreats and meeting and re-connecting with our stitching friends.
Always enjoy watching, hearing your stories & seeing all your stitching fun. Happy New Year 🎉 Happy Stitchin '
Hi Marie. Thank you for visiting with us today. Have a wonderful new year full of stitching ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thank you so much for the encouraging words Marie! Wishing you a Happy New Year as well.
I always love seeing you guys and hearing what you've been up to . Your projects are all so beautiful. Looking forward to the old year coming to a close and the new one beginning. Last year I did 12 in 12, and I had trouble doing one project every hour, so this year I'm going to do six new starts for 2 hours each. Not so stressful for me. I wish you both a joy-filled new year. ❤
Hi Judy. Thank you for sharing with us today. The 12x12 is a fun way to get the year started. Doing 12 in that time frame was tooooo much. Doing six is more manageable. I have 12 ready in case I make a mistake and can change. I don’t want to spend my hour having to frog 🐸 yuck! Good luck. Can’t wait to talk about it next time. Happy new years stitching
I hope your 12 x 12 goes well today! It's fun to try new things and figure out what works best for us! Happy New Year!
What a wonderful wip parade! Hope you both have a wonderful New Year I always enjoy your flosstube.🪡🧵

So glad to see you both. Having a quiet day stitching and your chatting helped the evening pass .Best wishes for a great new year
Hi Joan. So happy for you visiting us today. It felt good to be back. It was definitely the longest we ever did and still have more to come. Hope to see you again for Part 2. Happy new year full of happy stitching ❤🎉❤🎉❤
We chatted and chatted and chatted! Thank you for letting us hang out with you. Happy New Year Joan!

What a fun wip parade! Great job, gals! And thanks to the shout out to Vintageowllady bags. Have a happy New Year from the Vintageowllady!
Oh Susan, I love all your fabric choices as well as the quality of the bags. I get in so much trouble every time I look at your Instagram lol.
You both are always an inspiration. Have a blessed New Year! Thanks! Janine
Hi Janine. So nice to visit with you again. I hope you had a great 2024 and will have even a better 2025. I love a new year with lots of happy and hope. Cheers ❤

Great Flosstube girls! I love stitching and listening to you! Makes me miss you!❤🥰
Hi Ginger. That’s so sweet. It’s so fun to see all your Instagram posts. How is your daughter feeling! You are going to love being a grandma. What a happy 2025 you will have. Happy New Year ❤😊❤😊❤
I need to figure out a time that works for us and host a stitching day. I sure miss seeing you! Happy New Year friend!
I really enjoyed seeing your WIP parade! What a lot of beautiful work. Roberta, your framed sampler is a super start to your sampler wall.

Jean Farris has an excellent tutorial on how to remove a slub 😊 - Happy New Year 🎉
I went to Lee Summit and and then Quilter's Station for my first time ever about a month ago and just kept thinking, "Maybe I'll run into Roberta and/or Lennie!!!"
That would've been so cool! Well, that didn't happen but I still had a great time and spent way too much money😂!
Happy 🎉 New 🎉 Year 🎊🎊, Girlfriends!!!
Oh my gosh Flee. I wish I would have known. We would have loved to meet you. Be sure the next time you come please let us know. Happy new year ❤😊❤😊❤
Fun video. My husband taught me to use Reader's Digest to make those Christmas trees and then we would spray paint them green and put super tiny balls on them. That was back in 1970. We had just gotten married that June, so I was pretty impressed with my new husband. 😃Happy New Year!🎆
This was fun, so enjoyed your video and oh my, you have so many WIPs!
Wishing you a wonderful New Year's Eve and best wishes for 2025!
And believe it or not even more WIPs to come. I just finished tallying all mine up and found a couple of extras that didn't make it onto my 2024 list. Wishing you a Happy New Year as well Phyllis!
Hello ladies, thank you for spending the morning with me! I just started the new Monthly Mini Village-January while watching your WIP parade and listening to you two chat…it was like the three of us were in my livingroom🥰❤️

I am working on the small pieces and am determined to finish it this week. Thanks for the tips that have improved your stitching experience. Best wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Stitchy New Year!
Oh no. I didn’t think we had commercials. We definitely don’t approve the commercials. I guess it’s something you tube does on their own. I’m sorry.
I love a good WIP parade! Thank you!
Me too! We will be back with more shortly!
I so enjoy your floss tubes! Great job!
Hi Darleen. Thanks for visiting with us today. We missed you all and so anxious to share all our goodies. Happy New Year ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you like them Darleen! Wishing you a wonderful 2025.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year Linda!
So many beautiful projects to finish! Love the new year to start new stitches.
Hi Susan. Thanks for joining us today and finish is the key word here haha. I hope I can get some done but I know there will be new starts in the new year. May 2025 be filled with joy and good health and lots of stitches ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
That's so true. I'm hoping to make more progress on some of these large pieces and maybe not get distracted by the smalls next year.
Thanks for a great video! So many beautiful projects, many of them I have as WIPS. Loved meeting you and visiting with both of you today! I look forward to meeting with you again.
Hi Terry. It was great meeting you today. I love to share with others this wonderful hobby of ours and the people who enjoy it as much as we do. It’s such a pleasure you want to meet us. Your project bag was so generous and I already put my “Baby” inside. Thank you again. I hope our paths cross again soon. Happy new year PS. It was nice to meet your husband also. ❤😊❤😊❤
We so appreciate you meeting up with us! It was so much fun and glad we were able to find a little corner despite the business of the store!
Happy New Year!🎉🎉 May the good Lord bless you and yours this coming year. I so enjoy watching your videos. Delightful, funny, and heartwarming. Thank you so much for the time you give us. Could you please direct me to the "Marie Tee Peace" shop and the references to Linnie's Project bags. I'm not having any luck in locating them. Thanks so much, I appreciate you ❤❤
What a great WIP parade! Happy New Year🎉
Thank you! I have a lot to work on this year! And hopefully have a better plan for making progress on more of my WIPs!
Hi ladies! It was so nice to watch and see your WIP parade! There are so many lovely projects! Roberta, your finished sampler is lovely and going to be a wonderful start to your wall of samplers! I look forward to 2025, and to seeing more of your projects! Happy New Year!
We're glad you enjoyed part I and hope you enjoy the second part as well! I enjoyed getting organized for the videos and going through all my projects. It really helped me better understand my stitching tendencies and devising plans for 2025. Happy New Year!
You two are the nicest flosstubers! It’s like stitching with friends when watching your videos! I’ve been reducing my WIP count too. Finished some things this year. I’ve been going through other things and de-kitting them as my tastes have changed and I really hadn’t made much of a start to begin with. There are so many beautiful things to stitch and we get pulled in many different directions! Happy New Year! Barbara
I'm like you Barbara. I've gone through my kitted projects and still love everything I've purchased, but some of the kits I've received at retreats I need to pass on through destashing or giveaways. And hopefully my WIP count will go down a bit next year as well! Happy New Year!
What a great partial WIP parade! Linnie, after seeing you last time show La D Da Count your blessings, I just had to order it! I've never stitched a blessing stitch before, but on the 1st I am going to start that. Should be a quick stitch.
Hi Martha. You will enjoy that stitch. There are so many great patterns. We need them all right? I haven’t done a blessing stitch either but it sounds like a joyful stitch. Please share your progress if you like. Happy new year of stitches ❤🎉❤🎉❤
It’s always fun to see what projects inspire others! Good luck with your Blessing Sampler!
Yay. . . another flosstube! Happy New Year, girls! Love ya! Blessings!
I love your floss tube I am just like you ladies I've got more than ill ever use. I'm doing 12 x 12 but only doing one new start my blessing. Everything else will be WIPS. I've been storing my floss on drops then on rings then hanging the rings on hangers in my closest with a dry cleaner bag over them. It keeps the thread clean and i don't have space for a wall of floss. My linen is sorted in drawers by count.
Thank you for the storage tips! My 12 x 12 was very lame. I only worked on two WIPs. That's ok though, we had a very fun NYE.
I enjoy your videos they are so fun to watch. Happy New Year!
Thank you Karen. Happy new year. ❤😊❤😊
I'm so glad you enjoy them! We love making them and visiting with you. Happy New Year!
Thank you both Linnie and Roberta for a wonderful flosstube and for sharing your tips for your viewers! I really enjoy your episodes! Happy New Year to you and your families!
We appreciate you watching and we hope you have a wonderful New Year as well!
Burns day is only celebrated in Scotland for Robert Burns the famous Poet. Have wonderful New Year 🎉 Thank you for sharing
Interesting! I knew someone would know. I can't believe I haven't heard of it before!
Happy New Year Linnie & Roberta! Loved seeing your inspiring stitches today! Thank you for your videos!❤
Happy New Year to you as well! So glad you enjoyed the video and we appreciate your kind words.
Happy New Year!! So good to see you again. ❤
Thank you Carol. Sharing with you all is a real joy. Happy New Year ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thank you! Happy New Year to you too Carol!
Thanks ladies.It was a wonderful time with you.Looking forward to next year! Happy New Year stitching!
Thank you for spending time with us! Wishing you a happy new year as well!
That was a fantastic parade….thanks for sharing…..Happy New Year to you both
Loved this video! Nichol's polish system is Dazzle Dry! It's a wonderful product!
Thank you for posting this because I was wondering what it was!
Yes, I eventually found it and bought the "system" (doesn't that sound very technical!) I am hoping to try it out before the next video. Let me know if you have a favorite color!
Linnie I agree with you in continuing to stitch Christmas!!! I want to do that too!!!
I think I always plan to continue to stitch Christmas throughout the year but get sidetracked come February. Hopefully I will do a better job this year!
Me too!@@Roberta.SABLEStitchers
Wow, what a great assortment that you each have. Even me that has two wips is thinking of starting a new one for 2025. Enabling may not be so bad girls.
Hi Noreen. I love to start a new project. If it makes you happy do it. ❤😊❤😊❤
I was pretty much a monogamous stitcher for years, but I have to admit it's fun to have stitching options. Just do whatever makes you happy Noreen!
I have a tiny heart holepunch for my teeny bits of floss. I do it to all my WDW, CC, and other colors as I purchase them.
Thank you ladies for all the time you have but in 2024 to your floss tube it is appreciated ❤❤🎉🎉 all the best for 2025 🎉🎉🍾🍾🥳🥳🇬🇧
Thank you so much for the encouraging words! We love being part of this community and wish you a happy, healthy 2025 as well!
As I look back on things that I stitched many years ago, I can’t imagine doing them now. I was monogamous for years so I only have 6 wips and can’t imagine too many more. I would get anxiety. I also quit them back in the day if I grew weary of them.
Happy New Year to you both! You are such an inspiration in our cross stitch world and I appreciate the time it takes you to do the flosstube for us. Have a great 2025🥂❤️
Thanks for the kind and encouraging words Angela! We love being part of this community!
Happy New Year, ladies!
Hi Kathy. Thank for joining us today. Happy New Year to you too ❤😊❤😊
Wishing you a wonderful start to 2025!
Happy New Year! I enjoy your flosstube because of the family updates, stories and jokes! It’s listening to a conversation with friends. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the feedback! I feel like I get to know others when they give little insights about their lives outside of stitching so glad you are also in that camp! Happy New Year!
Linnie I love those needles too…that’s all I use now! I really missed you girls glad you had such a long fun video! Love wip parades! Happy new year 🎉
Thank you for the kind words! We've heard from some who can't stand such long videos, but we felt like we had a lot to share. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you two, too!!
Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year as well Connie!
Happy New Year!! Thank you for sharing all your wips. Absolutely gorgeous. 😊
Happy New Year to you as well! Thanks for spending time with us!
I love watching you guys! Your videos are always a highlight of my day. Roberta, Feast Of Friendship, what color is the house? I really want to buy that pattern, but only want the specialty floss for the blue house. The rest I’ll use DMC. Thank you!
Happy new year Darlene. The house is uses three Gentle Hearts floss. Blue Corn, Uniform Blue and Tin Bucket. It turn out beautiful ❤😊
@ thank you so much! Happy New Year!
Hi Roberta and Lonnie! I had such an enjoyable time seeing all of your stitching while working on mine. Happy New Year to you both!
Happy New Year to you as well Maureen!
Thank you for this video. I thoroughly enjoyed your WIP parade. I definitely needed my notebook for this one! Lots of inspiration. Wishing you much health, happiness, and lots of stitching in 2025.
Thanks so much! I hope you find some new projects to love!
Such a lovely variety of stitches! Happy and blessed 2025
Isn't it interesting that we overlap on only a couple of projects! Even when we are doing things by the same designer they tend to be different things. Happy New Year to you as well!
🎉🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Love seeing your WIPS!! Hope you show them allll🎉🎉🎉🎉 thanks for a fun year of WIPS and tips❤❤Denise
I will show all the ones I can find. Somehow one seems to have disappeared! Happy New Year!
Another great video ladies! I loved seeing all of your beautiful projects!! Have a Happy New Year!!
I have to admit, I really enjoy getting these all out and remembering where I got them, when they were started, etc. Thank you for hanging out with us!
Great video ladies. Happy New Year!
Thanks for hanging out with us and the kind words. Happy New Year to you as well Kathy!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Loved seeing your projects. Happy New Year to you and your families!
We so appreciate your kind words Cathy! Happy New Year to you as well!
What a wonderful video, I really enjoyed watching! I hope you have a very Happy New Year and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in the upcoming coming weeks!
Thank you so much for the kind words, we appreciate you taking the time to watch! Happy New Year to you as well!
I only use those ball tip needles since I discovered them a couple years ago! ❤
Someone gave me one awhile ago and I really liked it, but was deterred by the cost. I will have to try again.
Happy New Year Ladies!
Happy New Year and happy stitching to you as well Terri!
Winter rose manor was what got me back into crossstitch.
Wow. That’s exciting. I know it’s a big one but I accept the challenge. Happy New Year 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
It has to be one of Brenda Gervais' most popular patterns!
Always enjoy watching your videos. So many amazing pieces. Happy New Year 🥳🎉
I feel like we live in a golden age of cross stitch! Happy New Year Janet!
Happy New Year!
Love watching you two cuties. I’m Excited for 2025 it has such a fun”ring” to it. I was watching in bed last night kept dozing off so finished this morning didn’t want to miss a second💁♀️Happy New Year from Utah Take care and Enjoy ...........
Happy New Year to you as well! We are excited for what 2025 has to bring!
I enjoyed seeing what you ladies have been stitching on. Definitely need to take notes during a wip parade.
Isn't that the truth Billie! I know there have been several WIP parades that I have ended up going back through to help me remember which patterns I wanted to add to my list!
Great video and WIP parade. Happy New Year to you and your families ❤
Thank you for spending time with s Lisa! Happy New Year to you as well.
Another wonderful WIP parade! I totally agree with the need for having a notebook nearby while watching flosstube All the enabling oh my! But also for the little tidbits of information 😊 Happy 2025 🎉 I look forward to
your progress and starts.
Thanks for spending time with us! Yes, I should have learned this trick earlier.
We had a nice Xmas. Oh, I can't wait to see the WIP parade.
Hi Dee. You were our number one commentator again. Thank you for being such a loyal viewer. We were happy to be back and sharing all our undone stitching haha. I can tell I need to quit starting and do some finishing but who are we kidding. Haha. I hope you enjoyed it. Part 2 is coming. Happy new year filled with lots of joyful memories and stitching ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
@@linnieisenburg520 🥰 Part 2 will be fun. We all have some tiny new starts. Maybe ask viewers if there was something they learned this year. Newbies are in a rush to start a new piece, and don't measure properly with sufficient fabric allowance before cutting, have the fabric in the wrong direction (Landscape or Vertical) before beginning, don't secure the stitches on the back well enough... I've ended with a Pin Stitch, and could see them afterwards, so either I have great eyes for spotting things or I'm doing them wrong, haaaa See you next video, Happy New Year!!!
That's a good idea to ask viewers what they learned. Those are good tips about checking the fabric orientation before starting! I started one piece wrong this year but luckily realized it before I got much done.
@@Roberta.SABLEStitchers Maybe also ask stitchers what goofs, oops, mistakes they've made & learned not to do that again, even a "seasoned" stitcher -- In all my Years of stitching (since 1975) and frogging did I snip 1 thread of my Linen, until a week ago as the floss was so close in color to the overdyed fabric at the spot. 😳 After my colorful words, I was able to put a tiny drop of Aleene's tacky glue on the back, it worked. I thought, Hey, didn't Roberta do that once?! I was ready to grab a strand from the edge of my fabric allowance if I needed to re-weave it. But still, a shake my head moment.
😂🤭"one was charged.& the other was lit off!" Lol I do so love a cheesy😄funny! Oh yeah! I'm gonna share that one with my kids💖👍😎😊Go on! ☺️&Happy New Years Ladies💖🙂☕👍😎
Thank you Judi. Oh how I love a good dad joke. If it makes my grandkids roll their eyes I know it was a good one. Haha. I have a million of ‘em besides we love to leave you with a smile. Happy New Year ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Happy New Year to you as well Judi!
Lots of good stuff! I need to get a calendar for next year too. Im running out of time. 😮 i can keep a list. Happy New Year ladies.
Any process that works for you is great! I was surprised how much I learned from my start and finish lists!
Love your tips! A floss kit for seasons or designers is a great idea! What kind of spread sheet do you use for keeping track of your flosses, and patterns?
I just bought a notebook to write down patterns etc when watching flosstubes. I’m starting Jan 1 !!!
Hi Cathy. So nice to visit with you again. Yes a notebook is a great idea….now where is my pen. Haha. Happy New Year ❤❤❤
I don't know why it took me so long to realize I needed to do this!
It’s sitting here with flu symptoms….Your podcast cheered me up tho. Happy New Year.
Hi Dinah. Thank you for joining us today. I hope you are feeling better. It’s no fun to be sick. Please take and get back to your feeling good self. Happy New Year ❤😊❤😊❤
Oh that's not fun Dinah. I hope you get over this quickly and have a good start to the New Year!
Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year.
Same to you!
Happy New Years to the both of you!! All the Best of good health, happiness and lots of stitching. I was wondering what pattern the needle holder is. I would like to make one for a goodies at our spring retreat. What a great friendship you two have, love it.
Hi Frankie: Can you remind us which needle holder? I think I've shown some that I've purchased and have stored with my kitted projects but maybe it's something Linnie showed?
As always a wonderful video
Love watching you two lovely ladies, your stitching is amazing. Roberta can you tell me where you got your scissor holder from please. Thank you🎄⛄
Thank you for the reminder! It was from Norms Wood Craft on Etsy and ships from the UK.
@@Roberta.SABLEStitchers Thank you
So good to see you two today. Great stitching. Are you girls going to Quilters Station in April? We will be there. So excited.
Hi Andrea. Oh I wish we were but we can’t make it this year. We might just have to make another road trip your way. Thanks for joining us today. I hope your new Year is filled with joy and good health and lots of joyful stitching ❤😊❤😊❤
Yes, we are sorry to miss but can't make all the retreats. Maybe we could meet up when you are here though.
I would like more info on the wooden scissor holder please. I dont see it listed anywhere, sorry if I missed it. thank you. loved your episode
Thank you for keeping me company while I stitched tonight. Love seeing all your WIPs and thanks for the hints and tips you share. Looking forward to being more organized in my stitching in 2025 and finishing more of my WIPs. Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year.
Hi. Thanks for joining us today. It’s fun to go through patterns you haven’t seen in awhile and it’s always good to learn new things. I hope you have a happy new year filled with joy good health and lots of joyful stitches ❤😊❤😊❤
We always keep learning and tweaking, don't we? I just bought some boxes to store some of my kitted seasonal projects in to make my craft room a little tidier. Happy New Year from another crazy cat lady!
Havea Happy and Healthy 2025 and of course with lots and lots of stitching
Thanks! We are hoping for a very stitchy new year!
Linnie - I totally agree with you about the Sullivan needles - I love to stitch with them, but hate trying to remove a thread! Also, about your linen slub - there is a FT’er, called Count my Stitches who made a video about how to repair a slub in your linen - you might want to check her out. Thanks to you both for some great post Christmas entertainment ! Keep ‘em comin’!
Oh, that's good to know Susan! I was just dealing with a slub yesterday and picked out some of the thread and was able to make it work. There is probably a better way to do this though!
Great video
Thank you Sue. Happy New Year ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Thanks so much Sue!
I was finishing up my husband's Christmas cross stitch gift while listening to the video, and at one point I felt that I really was sitting at that table with you. It was the weirdest thing... Delightful, but surreal.
I wish I could say I learned great things with my stitching this year, but no. Maybe next year.
I'm glad you felt the connection! That is the sweetest comment Roberta! (I don't get to 'meet' others with the same name very often!)
Hi girls! Linnie-Brandy in your stitch group chose the perfect pink for her house in Winter Rose Manor. For some reason the word Meredith sticks with me but I can’t for the life of me remember the exact name of the pink. Her house was beautiful. Roberta-you are so lucky to have a granddaughter that loves to craft with you. Love your content girls. Oh, Stitcher with the Laughing Face is doing an interesting SAL. Check out her FlossTube.
Yes, my boys were never into crafting. Clara loves drawing and paper crafting so I think we will do some fun projects as she gets older!
